Suggest a rifle for markiver54

Hw95 Field Pro comes with a scope for 599.00 from Airguns of AZ. Ya I know thats more than you want to spend. But it was my first rifle and my neighbor liked it so much he bought one. I took 2 pests one day that were side by side in my front yard tree. They love to sit up there and deposit all over my driveway. 2 pests one pellet

That is a beautiful rifle!
It also answers my question if a scope can be added.
The HW30 I saw on the Krale website showed a globe front site with inserts, which might be ok even for tired eyes. My first rifle, a Savage/Anschutz 22lr has them and they provide a nice sight picture. I'm a lot older now though, so the ability to add an optic would certainly be a plus.

Wow...now that's impressive. Probably out of my price range though.

That is a beauty Al. I can only wish though. Definitely beyond my budget...unfortunately.

Nice Cannonball!
I think I'll research the HW50 some more. Is it comparable in price to the HW30?

It’s $332 delivered if you buy it from Krale. The price could fluctuate a little due to the dollar to euro exchange rate. Make sure you buy some pellets if you do order. The shipping won’t go up much since you would be getting a rifle and their pellets are much cheaper for the same ones here. Mine really likes the H&N FTT pellets.

Another great pellet for the HW50 is the JSB Express 7.87. My 50 loves 'em.

If you go with the HW30 as your choice, the JSB 7.33s are the traditional choice for the HW30, but HWs are not too pellet fussy. Have had good accuracy with a wide variety of pellets.

I knew which one NCG would suggest too,

When you are talking airguns, all are fun to shoot. It's been a while, but I should take one out for rabbits before the season ends. I do enjoy hunting with airguns.

All of the suggestions are being considered. On a fixed income, it can be hard to justify even a $200.00 to $300.00 expense. I may have to delay a purchase for a little while because when I do buy, I want quality. I think it might be worth it to me, ( as hard as it is), to wait a bit so that I can get what I want. I have printed all of the great information that has been so generously provided. It will be great reference material toward making a decision. Hopefully it won't be on hold too long.
In the mean time, I'm looking forward to trying the JSB pellets that I finally found, thanks to some help here, for my Sheridan. They are due to arrive Wednesday.

I was in the same boat back in November, but in my case I hadn't even held a airgun in probably 60 years. My price range was about $200.00. I asked for help and NCG recommended if I could afford to spend a little over 300.00, to get the HW30. I did and I really like it.
